To celebrate the first year anniversary of my lappy toppy this coming October I am reposting this blog which i originally posted last 25NOV2009 in FB.
******************************************************************************
One reason that convinced me to buy a laptop was a good friend’s generosity.
Her offer of the “charge it to friendship muna” payment scheme played a major role in wiping out my hesitation into plunging in this major expense.
Seventeen years of friendship entitles you to this kind of privilege, an overflowing supply of trust.
But behind the financial assistance the primary reason why I have, in the first place, considered having this piece of technology is my love of writing. Or is it love of typing?
I don’t know how I managed to convince myself that I can’t write good stuff unless my fingers are striking a keyboard!
It’s like there’s not enough surge of creative juice when you’re just using a pen and paper, the once upon a time very dependable tool I used whenever I feel like writing.
Unfortunately, the gush of the so called creative juice I have been expecting did not come. There was a complete absence of the “feel like typing”.
Blame it to Facebook and a friend’s enthusiasm in sharing her computer games, songs, movies and her discovery of her own laptop.
What would eventually stimulate my fingers to hit the keyboard is not the rush of creative juice brought about by the excitement of having this new toy but by an overwhelming feeling of melancholy.
But that's another story I wish to share when I can look back at what happened and just laugh at it.
Obviously, I have been bitten by a bug called realization. It's not the pen and paper or the laptop.
Emotion kindles my love for writing. It is my creative juice =)
